Pay Them!!!

Pay them now, pay them whatever they want, pay them, pay them, pay them, pay them...OK seriously, pay them! You know I am talking about the writers strike. Let me nutshell it for you...They want more money. Currently writers have a crappy deal with home video and DVD's, and the networks make bank. What do they want, a bigger profit share from "new media", you know, Internet and mobile phones. Seems fair to me. I mean, what is the head of NBC making, 20 million?!The talk shows are the first in the line of fire. I'm OK with that until you get to The Daily Show, and The Colbert Report. I love these shows, I need these shows. It takes a team of writers to pull these shows off, and they are out of commish' until this is settled. Not happy! Next up is soaps, they are about a week away from the carnage, I don't watch 'em but I am sure fans will not be happy. Big prime time shows should not be effected until the holidays. Yes, I am hatin' on Grey's Anatomy right now, that doesn't mean I want it to go away!

Scripted prime-time shows are in good shape through the end of the year. But midseason favorites could be affected by a lengthy strike, though a half-dozen episodes have been completed for popular shows like "Lost" and "24." Here is where the world stops for me!!! Do not be messin' with my LOST!!! It is bad enough that I have to wait 'til 2008 for my next LOST fix! Once you roll that bad boy out, you better not be pullin' it! "Half a dozen episodes", half a dozen!?! Not good enough!!!

I don't get to watch much during the daytime, just cartoons if anything... so, hopefully I won't be affected too much by this strike. I don't mind repeats of those... I just stare at the wall anyway!! :)

BUT... if there's a chance of LOST being lost... that's so NOT cool!! Here's where I'll have to join in saying... PAY, PAY, PAY!!! NOW, NOW, NOW!!! :)

I agree 110%! They need to resolve this as quickly as possible. If Lost (or Heroes, or Pushing Daisies, or Scrubs) gets cut short I will personally hunt down "those that be" and get them rolling out the dough! Writers, as we know, deserve their fair share!

While they're at it, why don't they increase payment for all writers everywhere? Too often the attitude is, "Well, you're just happy to be published, so we're not going to pay you what your work is worth."
